Also, cards announcing the wrong person as president of the U.S., cards that are actual puzzles, cards that are playable records, light switch covers and a card mailed from the initial flight of the Hindenburg, 3D cards, hold to light cards, 1912 Titanic postcard and just about everything you can think of! So far I have over 12,000postcards scanned with many more still to go.
